The Big Bang is a strong, explosive indica, ideal in 5-gallon (20
L) containers, as well as for SOG or SCROG systems. This fast,
compact plant forms a plump firework of a bush. Big Bang can
take a lot of feeding, and will pop out some very smelly buds
that can give your air filters a run for their money.
Best results are obtained in a hydroponics system, although
Big Bang will also do well in soil. If this plant is allowed to
grow large, its strong branching and short internode lengths
will require some pruning to allow more light and air to reach
the inner and lower branches. Growers should start this variety
with a medium-low pH (5.6 hydro / 5.8 soil) and slowly increase
to reach 6.5 at the end of flowering. EC levels depend on the
system. The maximum EC should be 2.0 in hydro and 1.8 in
soil. Adequate flushing should be provided. Plants in 5 gallon
containers will reach 4-5 feet at harvest if grown for at least 2
weeks. Plants in smaller containers reach 2-3 feet. With no
limit to root development, and ideal conditions, Big Bang can
skyrocket to over 7 feet in height.
Big Bang forms small round buds with overlapping clusters of
calyxes, and thick short hairs. Although her leaves are bright
green, her resin dulls the color with its grayish shade. Her
medium-sized leaflets tend to overlap.
Aside from describing her bursting growth, the name Big
Bang also describes this strain’s stone, which comes on strong
and very smooth, with a semi-narcotic medicinal effect. Like a
healing nova within the body, the high expands throughout the
system to release tension and pain and create a soothing state.
The effect is steady and longlasting. Big Bang’s flavor is very
intense and sweet, reminiscent of apple, rose and violet
candies. Known for her medicinal properties, Big Bang is
chosen by thousands of medicinal users in Holland, where it is
known as “Simm-18.” This strain is good as a muscle relaxer
for multiple sclerosis and helps alleviate chronic pain. Big Bang
will also be enjoyed recreationally by those seeking a physically
relaxing effect. Big Bang won 3rd Prize in the High Times
Cannabis Cup, 2000.
